Brunch

What's not to love about brunch? The best of breakfast and lunch combined, plus a free pass to enjoy an adult beverage before noon. From the traditional well-stocked brunch buffets to restaurants putting their own funky spin on favorites, Milwaukee is a city that loves its brunch. Try one of these favorite local spots to start a lazy day off right.

    Blue’s Egg

    Infamous for their "very stuffed browns": fresh cut hash browns packed with fillings like pulled ham, roasted mushrooms, herb crème fraiche, and more. Order the monkey bread to start with, and if your waiter asks if you'd like it "crunked" - say yes!
